Looking back at the year

Wow!  What a year! This time last year there were so many things I didn't even think I would be doing this year.  It's strange thinking back at how this year transpired.  Most contributed by inspiration from other blogs.  Thank you all.  You can see "My List of Inspiration" on the bottom right side of these post. Out of the blue I started this blog the day after New Year;...

My Fav Friday - Childhood Flashback; McDonalds Playground

OMG!!!! How sad is this?  My son, 8, just brought me up a little Lego character that reminded me of the McDonald's Hamburglar.  This was our conversation. Me: Oh how cute it looks like the Hamburgler. Son: What? What did you just say?  I don't understand what you are saying. Me: The Hamburgler.  You know from McDonalds? Son: Huh?  What is that? Me: One of the McDonalds...

Giveaway Day winner!

This was such a fun giveaway.  I'm glad I asked the question I did, "Do you procrastinate or do you keep a list to get things done ahead of time?"  I loved all the comments, and I'm sooo glad to see so many of you procrastinate as much as I do.  For example I should be starting some of my Christmas gifts(6 days left, I'm running out of time), and not roaming the web.  Yikes!!

Owl purse

I recently saw a new favorite saying "If it wasn't for the last minute I'd get nothing done.".  This is sooo true for me.  For one I procrastinate, and two there are times I don't know what I want to do until I have little or no time left to do it. My daughter was going to her cousins house this weekend for a birthday slumber party, and I waited and waited to buy a present.  My daughter...

A drawing transfered onto a stocking

It's officially been a year since I've become blog crazed.  No, not since I've started my blog, but since I've become obsessed with reading blogs, and sewing more than I've ever sewn before.   Last November, 2010, I stumbled upon Prudent Baby, and became obsessed.  Everyday,sometimes a couple of times a day, I would manually go to their website to see what was new. With the nudge...

Ahead of the game...at least for now.

Yay!! I'm sooo proud of myself. It's silly, but I'm soo happy that I got a stocking completed already, and it's not even December. This will look sooo cute next to my little black Christmas tree, once it's decorated.  Well I hope it will look cute. Now, what I need to do next is stop procrastinating, and get my Christmas decorations out.  You know time starts to fly.  I want it to...
